For our house, I specifically had the basement built with a ceiling height of 2.40 meters (7 feet 10 inches) and included a living space screed plus heating. Is this sufficient to use the hobby room as a living area, or do I need to consider anything else regarding the external insulation? Currently, there are several layers of bitumen applied on the outside and about 6 cm (2.4 inches) of expanded polystyrene.
Will the basement then officially count as living space and need to be recognized as such by the building authority? The planner included the hobby room with 33 square meters (355 square feet) as living space in the calculations.

+ Insulation + heating according to the energy saving regulation
+ Lighting and ventilation: natural daylight, window size, visual connection to the outside including window sill height should be considered by the architect, otherwise it will remain a hobby room.
If building with a subsidy, the funding guidelines must also be taken into account.

The heating is installed and sized for the room.
A two-leaf window with a masonry light well.
What about the insulation—will external insulation with polystyrene panels be sufficient?

If you receive housing subsidies, for example as a young growing family or similar, this space may not be counted, or in the worst case, the subsidy might not be paid.
